40 weeks pregnancy update / ssw 40

I am overdue for a week now. Who would have thought that?! Honestly I got a bit annoyed these last days, especially now as all moms from my mommy-club already have their babies and 3 of them had their due date after mine! :/ I feel also happy for them, but in regards to myself I feel I have to be soo patient!

On monday I got a small gift from Nico. When he picked me up from my yoga class there was a red rose on my seat and a small card for being pregnant for 40 weeks!, so cute! <3

My personal due date calculated on the length of my menstrual cycle was July 14th, 2014. My officially announced due date by my doctor was July 13th, 2014 on the base of a 28-days-cycle.

As the official due date was on a sunday I had to visit the hospital for an examination, which was fine. There I got some tea and bathing oil to cause contractions from the midwifes. I also got informed that I should call after 1 week for an induction appointment. The rest of the week I had to visit my doctor on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, which was also kind of annoying. :/ So today I am officially 1 week overdue! Which means I am calling the hospital this morning and then we´re going! I cannot believe it at all, it feels kind of surreal! And I am excited now finally - how is everything going to be?!

This is definitively the last shot of my pregnant belly!

Please don´t mind the liver spot inside my strechted belly button.

How far along? I´ve finished the 40th week today, so I am basically pregnant for 41 weeks now.

Total weight gain: 19,9kg
Bump measure: 108cm

Maternity clothes? I am still comforting with my leggings and stretchy clothes.

Stretch marks? No.
Fitness: I´ve visited my prenatal yoga class on Monday for the last time. On Wednesday some of the yoga-moms-to-be and I went for a walk through the Niendorfer Gehege and rested there for a refreshment.

Sleep: Not so good at the moment as it is really hot this week we have around 30°C and I woke up, up to 3 time per night! By the way this morning I am awake since 5:30 am! :(

Best moment this week: Our last night out in a restaurant. <3

Miss anything? I miss my former body shape.

Movement: Still a lot movement, although it should be quite tight now.

Food/cravings: I craved a good old filet steak by the end of this week and so we went to the Jok´s Steakhouse on our last evening as a couple - it was super delicious and a nice summer evening outside!

Anything making you quesy or sick? When I wake up with pain in my hands due to the water.

Gender: Girl!

Labor signs: Nothing at all! Although I spent the whole Saturday cleaning up at home which took me 5 hours or so - okay I am not the quickest anymore but I´ve also cleaned the windows and balcony, did all the laundry etc... However it wasn´t exhausting me enough to get contractions :( After that I drank the special tea and also bathed in the clove-oil that I got from the hospital to cause contractions. I felt very bad after the bath my cycle was totally down! I haven´t had eaten a lot which was very bad for this situation as well. But contraction-wise nothing really happened!

Symptoms: Water in my hands and feet, recently my hands get numb easily. The heat really made me exhausted. Also I feel my body is so heavy it really is not easy to sit down comfortably or get up easily.

Belly button in or out? Streched out completely.

Wedding rings on or off? Off.

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy, but especially the last days I felt a bit annoyed - I do admit I had a small break down on Saturday morning ;)

Looking forward to: Holding my little Lillian in my arms finally!!! <3
